Cancer occurrence is increasing globally and it is a real concern to governments and every person alive because of the economic implications and loss of quality of life it carries with it. A look at the current cancer prevalence is intimidating. Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death and an important barrier to increasing life expectancy in every country of the world. In 2020, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases and nearly 10 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization projects that, by 2040, the world could see 28.9 million new cancer cases and 16.2 million cancer-related deaths a year simply due to population growth and aging. Cancer burden in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to nearly double over the next 20, reaching 1.5 million new cases and 1 million deaths by 2040 even if cancer incidence rates remain constant.

Addressing the rising cancer incidence and mortality rates in Africa is a multifaceted challenge. Some regions have inadequate infrastructure, and people may lack access to basic healthcare. This is further compounded by other difficulties including a shortage of cancer doctors, nurses, and public health workers. Just to put this challenge into perspective, some countries in Africa totally lack oncologists, while others only have single-digit oncologists, meaning there is a high caseload per physician in those countries.

But Africa is unflinching in the face of this mega challenge of fighting cancer.

The recognition that cancer is a major and growing health problem in Africa is driving efforts by national governments in addressing the issue. Countries' resources and ability to provide healthcare services may differ, but a commendable proportion of African governments have made plausible strides, mainly through the implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Moreover, Africa is strengthening its population-based cancer registries – equipping individual countries with the continuous data necessary to plan and inform national cancer services. Laudable milestones have been witnessed in the increased number of cancer treatment facilities with much success being realized.

Statistical projections already predict that cancer burden will rise in Africa within the next two decades, given population trends, portending strains on an overstretched healthcare and economic infrastructure, posing new challenges.

In this issue of HealthCare Middle East and Africa (HCMEA) magazine, we examine the cancer burden in Africa based on the GLOBOCAN estimates of cancer incidence and mortality. We have featured University College Hospital, Ibadan, highlighting the major strides it has made in promoting health at its Blue Sapphire Jubilee. These, and more captivating and informative stories are yours to read and stay informed.
